69.Sh DESCRIPTION
70The
71.Fn sigsetjmp ,
72.Fn setjmp ,
73and
74.Fn _setjmp
75functions save their calling environment in
76.Fa env .
77Each of these functions returns 0.
78.Pp
79The corresponding
80.Fn longjmp
81functions restore the environment saved by their most recent respective
82invocations
83of the
84.Fn setjmp
85function.
86They then return so that program execution continues as if the corresponding
87invocation of the
88.Fn setjmp
89call had just returned  the value specified by
90.Fa val ,
91instead of 0.
92.Pp
93Pairs of calls may be intermixed, i.e. both
94.Fn sigsetjmp
95and
96.Fn siglongjmp
97and
98.Fn setjmp
99and
100.Fn longjmp
101combinations may be used in the same program, however, individual
102calls may not, e.g. the
103.Fa env
104argument to
105.Fn setjmp
106may not be passed to
107.Fn siglongjmp .
108.Pp
109The
110.Fn longjmp
111routines may not be called after the routine which called the
112.Fn setjmp
113routines returns.
114.Pp
115All accessible objects have values as of the time
116.Fn longjmp
117routine was called, except that the values of objects of automatic storage
118invocation duration that do not have the
119.Vt volatile
120type and have been changed between the
121.Fn setjmp
122invocation and
123.Fn longjmp
124call are indeterminate.
125.Pp
126The
127.Fn setjmp Ns / Ns Fn longjmp
128pairs save and restore the signal mask while
129.Fn _setjmp Ns / Ns Fn _longjmp
130pairs save and restore only the register set and the stack.
131(See
132.Fn sigprocmask 2 . )
133.Pp
134The
135.Fn sigsetjmp Ns / Ns Fn siglongjmp
136function
137pairs save and restore the signal mask if the argument
138.Fa savemask
139is non-zero, otherwise only the register set and the stack are saved.
140.Sh ERRORS
141If the contents of the
142.Fa env
143are corrupted, or correspond to an environment that has already returned,
144the
145.Fn longjmp
146routine calls the routine
147.Fn longjmperror 3 .
148If
149.Fn longjmperror
150returns the program is aborted (see
151.Xr abort 3 ) .
152The default version of
153.Fn longjmperror
154prints the message
155.Dq Li longjmp botch
156to standard error and returns.
157User programs wishing to exit more gracefully should write their own
158versions of
159.Fn longjmperror .
